BEFORE USE

• Remove all packaging from the kettle and power base.

• Remove the filter (fig. 1) and wash with water (fig. 2). Refer to page 7. “Removing the scale
filter”

• Fill the kettle and boil.

• The boiled water should be discarded and the kettle rinsed out with cold water. This
procedure should be carried out three times, to remove any manufacturing dust, etc.

• After the kettle has been rinsed out, re-fit the filter (fig. 3).

IN USE
Power base with 360° access

With the specially designed power base and central connector,
you can set the kettle on the base at any angle, from any position.

• Release cord from storage base and adjust length by winding
around the base to give the correct cord length to reach the
plug socket to be used (fig. 4).

• Do not leave loose cord hanging over the edge of work
surfaces.

Filling

• Remove the kettle from the base unit before filling.

• Fill the kettle to the required level, through the spout (Fig. 5).

• The special new swing filter allows the kettle to be filled quickly
and easily. The filter automatically opens due to the pressure
of the water during filling, and it closes when pouring in order
to filter the water.

Do not fill with less than 0,5 litre of water to prevent the
kettle running dry while operating; misuse of this kind will
shorten the life of the element.
Do not fill with more than 2,0 litres of water (up to the MAX
indication located) (fig. 6). If the kettle is overfilled, there is

a risk that boiling water may spurt out and cause burns.
